I've been reading a lot about the current protests and incidents of explosive attacks in Bangkok and other parts of the country. I'm a female traveling alone in late may to Bangkok and Phuket, I was wondering if it's safe to make the trip alone? Anyone traveling in Thailand right now that can offer some insights? Thanks!

The best thing to do is follow the Foreign Office advice www.fco.gov.uk/travel. Airlines and Tour Operators will follow this advice and will not fly if it is unsafe to do so. If it comes to this then you should be entitled to a full refund.
